to the community,
‘v,'evils I have been comp.ain-

‘ j„ h after being Called in

Inartnientof the government;
Ji if any perfons fhould have
impleafant feelings m confe
nuence, to that fource may they
sferibe them.
The Governor having thought
proper in his addrefs to ufher in
his favorite fubjea of the yazoo
bufinefs, I cannot but take this
occafion of faying, without re
girding i-s merits, that it has
been converted for too long a
time into a popular hobby-horfe,
riding down all decency, order,
and propriety, and in fome in
llances the a&ive reprobation of
the Tale has been found diffident
to fupply the abfence of virtue,
patriotifm and talents, in cafes
where they were effential. After
all, itrannot but be known, that
contcflcd queflions affeding
citizens of different Rates, are
ultimately to be fettled by the j
calm enquiry and independent j
decdon of the fupreme judicial j
authority of the United States. |
I am alio juflilied by the lan
guage and fpirit of the addrefs.
to add, that in ray opinion he
has by his inflamatory writing,:
fpeaking and intrigue, done ma
terial injury to the Rate—
them he has excited pernicious
animofities between the citizens,
and produced a ferment in the
government—thereby driving
from its refpeftable offices the
men who were bell qualified ;
and, dilorder, crime, and im
punity have been the effects.
This dading theme he ftill
piques in his addrefs; but it is
time formy countryman to
open their eyes upon thefe ruin
ous ; to harmonize
eac h other, and improve
our excellent country ; to fettle
the government from that
"" upon which it has too
moved, to principles of
1 juiiice and lound policy.

NEW-YOIIK, March 28.
Ycfterday an hermaphrodite brig, on
her way through Hell Gale to this city,
(truck on the rocks, overfcl, and funk-
Wc do not learn her name, but under*-
(land that 8 of the people perifhed.
Cap:, Sells, of the (loop Maria, in
16 days from Sr, Kill’s, latl from Sr.
Thomas, arrived lail evening. He failed
under convoy of the United States brig
Norfolk, capt. Williams, in company of
14 fail of American veiTeia.
One of the officers of the Norfolk
informed cap;. S. that a few days before
they b«d an engagement with a French
priva eer of 14 guns, from St. Martin’s,
in which they (hot away her main top'
mad, and killed 8 men, when (lie (truck
to the Norfolk ; but that captain Wil
liams had not courage to board her . A
reprUentation of this fad being made
j to capr. Truxtoa, induced him to order
, c*pt. Williams home, that an inveftiga*
j lion of hia conduit might take place.
: The privateer put into i>t. Martin’s,
j Aa myilcrious as the above may ap
pear—roming from as officer of the
Norfolk, it mult, wc think, be true.
